F 0567 Honor the resident's right to manage his or her financial affairs. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of resident funds accounts, staff interview, and review of the facility resident handbook, the facility failed to ensure residents had access to their resident funds at the facility. This affected two residents (#8 and #14) of four residents reviewed for resident funds accounts. The facility identified six residents (#6, #7, #8, #11, #13, and #14) with resident funds accounts. The facility census was 20. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: 1. Review of resident funds accounts on 04/30/19 at 5:35 P.M., with [NAME] Specialist #147 revealed Resident #14 withdrew $15.00 from her resident funds account on 01/30/19. Review of the receipt for withdrawal revealed it was signed by two staff members, but not the resident. 2. Review of resident funds accounts on 04/30/19 at 5:35 P.M. with [NAME] Specialist #147 revealed Resident #8 withdrew $50.00 from her resident funds account on 01/04/19. Review of the receipt for withdrawal revealed it was signed by two staff members, but not the resident. Interview with [NAME] Specialist #147 during review of resident funds accounts revealed the residents did not sign for withdrawals as staff from the facility went to a sister facility approximately one mile away to obtain money from the resident's personal funds account. She stated a staff member from each facility signed for the withdrawal, but the residents do not sign for cash withdrawals. She verified there was no petty cash kept at the facility. She stated petty cash from the resident's personal funds accounts was available Monday through Friday 8:00 A.M. through 5:00 P.M. at a sister facility located approximately one mile away. Review of the facility Elder Handbook with a revision date of 11/2012 revealed elders may open a personal account by signing up at the business office. This money was kept on deposit solely for use by elders. Withdrawals of up to $50.00 may be made when the front office was open. A responsible family member, friend or other trusted and interested adult should manage an elder's funds if an elder no longer wishes to or was not able to do so. Staff members are not permitted to help elders with any financial matters. Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, and resident and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident's restorative nursing program (RNP) was implemented as planned. This affected one (Resident #19) of one residents reviewed for limited range of motion. The facility identified 12 residents (#1, #4, #6, #8, #9, #10, #11, #13, #14, #16, #19, and #20) participating in a RNP. The facility census was 20. Findings include: Review of Resident #19's medical record revealed an admission date of 06/03/15. Medical diagnoses included athetoid cerebral palsy, generalized muscle weakness, involuntary movements, hypertension, dorsalgia, and asthma. Review of the resident's physical therapy Discharge summary dated [DATE] revealed his prognosis to maintain current level of function was good with strong family support and consistent follow through. Recommendation was for a restorative program. Review of the resident's rehabilitation screens dated 12/24/18 and 03/20/19 revealed he did not demonstrate any changes since his last screen. No therapy orders were needed. The screens indicated the resident was not currently in a restorative program. Review of the resident's care plan revealed a care plan revised on 03/26/18 revealed for a RNP. The plan indicated therapy had worked with him to establish a RNP. He needed stretching because of his diagnosis of spastic cerebral palsy. His goal was to maintain the use of his computer mouse and manage certain items on his desk and to maintain stand pivot transfers to and from the toilet. The plan included active ROM shoulder flexion five to ten times daily, leaning back in his chair and raising his arm above his head, repeating on both sides daily. The plan indicated he may need assistance. Active ROM also included horizontal abduction, seated trunk flexion, and resistance band exercises. His plan included passive ROM dorsiflexion stretch, foot pronation supination, knee extension stretches, hip abduction/adduction, hip flexion/extension, shoulder flexion/extension, finger flexion/extension. The passive ROM was to be completed twice daily. Review of restorative nursing program documentation for passive and active ROM for April 2019 revealed active ROM was completed once daily as scheduled. Passive ROM was not documented as completed twice daily for 21 of 30 days. Continued review of the resident's medical record revealed no updated assessment of resident's progress with RNP since 08/04/17. Review of the resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had a brief interview for mental status score of 15, indicating no impairment in cognition. He had no rejection of care. He required extensive assistance with two plus staff for bed mobility, transfers, and dressing.

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, staff interview, and review of a facility procedure manual, the facility failed to ensure dietary assessments accurately reflected a resident's skin condition. This affected one (Resident #12) of one residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility identified only one resident with a pressure ulcer. The facility census was 20. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident #12's medical record revealed an admission date of 05/18/18. Medical diagnoses included generalized muscle weakness, malignant neoplasm of mouth, chronic kidney disease, chronic atrial fibrillation, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Review of the resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating no impairment in cognition. He was identified as at risk for pressure ulcers and had moisture associated skin damage. Review of the resident's nutrition care plan dated 06/01/18 revealed the resident was at risk for impaired nutritional status. One of his goals was to maintain skin integrity. Interventions included monitoring skin per nursing protocol. Continued review of the resident's medical record revealed he was identified as having impaired areas to his buttocks associated with moisture on 01/09/19. He was assessed as having a stage two pressure ulcer to the right buttock and unstageable pressure ulcers to the right and left great toes on 04/09/19. Review of the resident's quarterly dietary assessments dated 01/21/19 and 04/19/19 his skin was intact with no recommendations indicated. Review of the resident's physician's orders revealed no orders for increased protein until 04/23/19 when protein Jell-O was ordered once daily. Interview with Dietary Technician (DT) #145 on 04/30/19 at 12:21 P.M., verified she did not include information regarding the resident's skin impairment in her dietary assessments dated 01/21/19 and 04/19/19. She stated she was not aware of the resident's skin impairments. She stated the facility staff would normally notify her verbally. She stated she must have missed this information in the resident's medical record. She verified she would have recommended a high protein supplement to promote wound healing in a resident with skin impairment. Review of an undated facility procedure manual titled Dietary Procedure Manual revealed quarterly assessment updates were written for all nursing home residents. The Registered Dietitian reviews the medical record for current physician's orders, recent lab data, Minimum Data Set assessment, interdisciplinary care plan, and recent interdisciplinary progress notes for changes since last progress note was written. Review may include other pertinent records available such as data sheets, medication administration record, and skin evaluations.

This affected one resident (#2) of one resident reviewed for urinary tract infections. The facility census was 20. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Medical record review for Resident #2 revealed an admission date of 08/27/18. Diagnoses included iron deficiency anemia, hypokalemia, transient cerebral ischemic attack, cardiac arrhythmia, myelodysplastic syndrome (deficient production of blood cells in bone marrow), anxiety disorder, epistaxis, cardiac pacemaker, major depressive disorder, muscle weakness, difficulty walking, heart failure, urinary tract infection site not specified, insomnia, anxiety disorder, diaphragmatic hernia, pulmonary fibrosis, age related osteoporosis, hypothyroidism, type two diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. Review of Resident #2's medication administration records (MARs) for October 2018 and November 2018 revealed Macrobid (antibiotic) 100 milligrams (mg) was administered daily for prophylaxis of urinary tract infections. The antibiotic was subsequently discontinued on 12/15/18. Further review of Resident #2's medical record revealed a urinalysis was completed on 12/24/18 with abnormalities, but no growth after 48 hours. Review of the physician orders for Resident #2 revealed an order dated 12/24/18 for Macrobid (antibiotic) 100 milligrams (mg) one tablet orally daily for prevention of urinary tract infections (UTI's). The physician order gave no ending date for the use of the antibiotic. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #2 had a Brief Interview Mental Status (BIMS) of three indicating severely impaired cognition. The MDS further revealed Resident #2 to be incontinent of urine with no documented urinary tract infections in the last 30 days. Continued review of the MARs for 12/24/18 through 04/30/19 revealed the Macrobid to be administered daily as ordered prophylactically for urinary tract infections. Review of the facility infection control logs for January, February, March and April 2019 revealed them to be silent for documentation of a urinary tract infection for Resident #2. Review of the medical record for Resident #2 revealed the pharmacy did monthly medication reviews as required from August 2018 through April 2019.
